Number 23: Lose 10 Pounds of Clutter

I am my mother's daughter… afraid of throwing things out because I might want to use them later, boxes of stuff I never opened and never needed, displayer of knicknacks because I was worried the gift giver would look for it in my apartment. I'd throw it all out, if I could.. But I can't. So I thought that 10 pounds would be a good start. Sometimes I am ruthlessly piling stuff in bags and boxes to be taken away to Value Village. Most of the time, I end up rooting through bag trying to find something (see, I DID need it after all!). Last weekend we had a garage sale! It was cold and windy and we packed up early to truck everything out to the charity. And then we ate chips and pizza and watched 30 Rock.

I know, it isn't special. But I did it. One day at a time!
